Three emperors meeting
The three emperor meeting describes the following events:
1872
From September 6 to 11, 1872, the Austro-Hungarian monarch Franz Joseph I , the German Kaiser Wilhelm I and the Russian tsar Alexander II met in Berlin, which was intended as a political demonstration of cooperation between the imperial powers of Eastern Europe was (three emperor ratio).
Behind the scenes, the actual political talks between the leading statesmen Otto von Bismarck , Gyula Andrássy and Prince Alexander Michailowitsch Gorchakov took place during this meeting . It was essentially about joint measures to suppress the revolutionary movement, the position towards republican France and a Russian-Austrian understanding about the status quo in the Balkans.
No written agreements were made during this meeting; However, Bismarck brought his foreign policy plans a good deal closer to realization and thus prepared the Three Emperor Agreement of 1873.
1884
The meeting of three emperors in 1884 confirmed for the last time the three emperor relationship that had been realized after 1871 in the three emperor union.
In September 1884 the Imperial Powers of Eastern Europe met in Skierniewice under the German Emperor Wilhelm I, the Austro-Hungarian monarch Franz Joseph I and the Russian Tsar Alexander III. , in which Bismarck and the Foreign Ministers of Austria-Hungary and Russia also took part. The three imperial powers did not succeed in overcoming the differences in the three emperors' union, which were intensified by the ongoing Austro-Russian rivalry in the Balkans, during this meeting, which resulted in no lasting success.
